Anyone know where I can get a spare Yama lid/base?  It works well with the Silex.  I may have to get a new wide-mouth gasket, mine is lose on the funnel.

Chris,

I have a spare one I'll send with your bags at No cost! I will get those out on Monday or Tuesday......  jim

I found on the innerwebs today some fellow named Tex on a vac pot forum recommended PermaTEX red high temp gasket seal to seal the gasket to the funnel.  I picked up a tube at the auto parts store (one of the last behind the counter as they're replacing it with another brand) while getting my battery checked out. 

Tex, is it better to apply the bead to the glass or the gasket? It does have the NSF/ANSI label on it.

BTW, the battery turns out to be factory, nine years old, I think it's time for a replacement.

Only use the RTV sealant to close gaps between the tube & the still pliable gasket. In that regard it doesn't matter which you apply it to.

BTW, I quit that group because some of those vac pot gurus were debating which store bought coffee worked best.

Don't blame you ... knowing that I would not have joined!

Record setters.  Early prototypes.  7" and 8" respectively.  Just snagged them in eBay auction.  These are collector items.  The seating arrangements and design are similar to a 6" Corning glass filter that I own.

Quite some time ago, someone asked me to put up a display of my filters.  So, here goes.  These are all Cornings.  Rare, but they get my daily use.

The longer ones (7"and 8") just arrived.  No trademark but I believe they are early Corning prototypes from the '30s.  Top to bottom:  8", 7", 6", and 5."

Cory is the most common glass rod out there.  Here is a box of 12 from the '30s.  This case has a totally round barrel.

Later Corys brought a square top so they didn't roll off the counter.  3 Corys here:

Top, "New Cory," ~6.5" (longest Cory)
Center, Standard Cory - most common glass rod in circulation, ~6"
Bottom, Barrel Topped Dome - late '30s.  ~6"
